Stop Fighting & Let God Fight

A fight without God, is a battle you will be defeated in, every time. But when you put on the armor of God, he is in battle either for you or with you. He will guide you and protect you at the same time; that is, in a battle that he has allowed. Others prayer for strength will be upon you, and God will defeat all of your enemies in ways you could not imagine. He may even send them your way to preach the gospel of truth to them and win their souls. That is the secret to fighting and winning!

TRUE STORY

I've always been a fighter. Never been afraid of how big or how tough a person was. I believed in myself. I knew secrets of how to take a person down. I never took my eyes off of them, even after I had been punched. I knew if I did, I would be defeated. However, after a while I didnt feel so confident. Not because I lost faith in myself, but because it didnt feel right to hurt people like that. After I'd calm myself from rage and hatred, and had won the battle, I felt bad as I watched how bad my brother or sister was feeling from defeat. Even though they were the one who provoked it, and afterward, some still mouthed off in anger toward me, I didnt desire to fight anymore.

Later in life I found God, and he met me where I was. It was then that I understood why I felt bad for fighting my brothers and sisters. I learned to fight a different way. It took a long time for me to accept God's way, but it was worth it. When I stopped fighting with my hands, I battled with my mouth and attitude; along with unforgiveness. God rebuked that spirit by showing me either way I would no longer win. Through praying and following the commandments of God, I lost every self-battle. Even if I was in the right and should have won.

RETALIATION

RETALIATION

John 18:1-10

Like Peter, you want to protect yourselves and those whom you love 💘. However, the best protection is leaving things that hurt you in the hands of God. The bible says in Matthew 10:28 not to be afraid of those who could kill the body as they can not kill the soul. Therefore, to use the energy to retaliate against someone to appease your appetite is useless.

God will allow your flesh and your soul no rest as you are not authorized to take a life. That means do not force condemnation, depression, fear, etc. to your enemies or you will self-inflict yourselves.

Its hard not to be vengeful in such a state of pain because your heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who could know it. Jeremiah 17:9. It's full of James 4:1-4, wars and fightings. The flesh doesn't STOP until it gets what it wants; by any means necessary. God is aware and he is against it.

If you want help in turning away from the pain and thoughts of retaliation, let God give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. LET IT GO AND GIVE IT TO GOD FOR HE SAYS ALSO:

Deuteronomy 32:35, It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them. & Romans 12:17-19, Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "it is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
